Greetings,

I am new to the board and live in southern CA. Many of my friends go into the local mountains and have had some success finding small nuggets of gold and other metals there. I am just leaning about metal detectors and of the various types and modes of operation. From what I can tell, I should use a VLF based detector for this type of hunting. Please advise what would be good purchase models and/or point me in the right direction of a good schematic. I am fairly handy with a soldering iron.

Hello Mr_Fixit, welcome to our friendly forum.  A lot is going to depend on how much you want to spend and how quickly you want to be out in the field detecting......also, will you  be using the detector primarily for that type of detecting, or do you envision doing a lot of general purpose hunting with it (say at the beach)?

BA,

the detector will be used almost exclusively for searching around the mountains. I do visit the beach often, but a metal detector would not work too well on a surf board.   Rider The mountains out here have quite a bit of flake and small chunks rolling down still, and a suitable (Yet to be defined) metal detector would/should be useful in this.
